The year 2022 marked a turning point in the activity of the Arctic Council and development of international relations in the Arctic region. Despite the challenging geopolitical situation, Russia continues to work consistently through its chairmanship of the Arctic Council. This review briefly presents the outcomes of the International Forum for Early-Career Scientists “Russia in the Arctic Dialogue: Global and Local Contexts”, organized in May 2022 at Northern (Arctic) Federal University named by M.V. Lomonosov. The Forum was one of the activities within the “Arctic Youth” portfolio of the Action Plan for Russia’s Chairmanship in the Arctic Council 2021-2023.
